Release notes for AutoArchive 1.3.0
-----------------------------------


* Added possibility to overwrite backups at the start of creation.

  Option --overwrite-at-start was added which -- when enabled -- causes backups
  to be overwritten at the start of backup creation.  This is useful in case of
  big backups and low free space.  It allows behavior like in versions before
  1.2.1.  The default -- if not enabled -- is to create the backup with
  temporary name and rename it after it is created.

* Running commands before and after backup creation of all selected archives

  New options--command-before-all-backups=COMMAND_BEFORE_ALL and
  --command-after-all-backups=COMMAND_AFTER_ALL were added.  If specified the
  corresponding command is executed before and/or after backup creation of all
  selected archives.  These commands will be executed only once in a single
  invocation of AutoArchive as opposite to --command-before-backup and
  --command-after-backup which are executed for each archive.

* Commands can be configured also in the system configuration file

  Options ‘command-before-backup’ and ‘command-after-backup’ can now be
  specified also in the system configuration file in addition to user
  configuration file, archive specification and command line.

* Correctly capture and propagate tar messages in localized environments

  If environment language was not set to English error messages from Tar were
  not recognized correctly.

* Abort backup creation in case of “No space left on device” error.

  If there is no space left for a backup to be created the operation is aborted
  and creation of the next backup is started if any.

* Do not report empty error messages (lines) from tar as errors.

  In some cases Tar prints an empty line to standard error which led to
  incomplete error messages printed by AutoArchive.  For example:

  aa: Error! [backup] An error occurred:

  These empty lines are no longer treated as errors and are not propagated.

* Added missing ‘--force-*’ and negation options

  Following missing options were added:

  - --force-command-before-backup
  - --force-command-after-backup
  - --no-remove-obsolete-backups
